Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons are set to take on Meerut Mavericks in the grand finale of the UP T20 League, to be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The title clash pits prominent Indian internationals against each other, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the Lucknow Falcons against Rinku Singhs Meerut Mavericks. The Meerut Mavericks have achieved the remarkable feat of qualifying for the final in all four seasons and are seeking their second title, while the Lucknow Falcons have entered their maiden final, and are aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in front of their home crowd. The Lucknow Falcons enter the final on a seven-match unbeaten streak, marking an impressive turnaround after a difficult start to the tournament where they lost three of their opening four matches. The Falcons rebounded by winning five of their subsequent six league games (with one game washed out) to finish second in the standings with 13 points. They booked their place directly in the final with a convincing win over Meerut in Qualifier 1, anchored by a decisive spell of 4-10 from captain Bhuvneshwar. The Falcons campaign has been bolstered by consistent batting performances from Ajeet Verma and Mohammad Saif, who have compiled 263 and 233 runs, respectively. Leg-spin bowling all-rounder Vipraj Nigam has delivered in crucial moments down the order, maintaining a strike rate close to 160 alongside taking 11 wickets. The bowling unit remains their primary strength, led economically by Bhuvneshwar (13 wickets at an economy rate under 6) and fellow pacer Abhinandan Singh, who sits second in the Purple Cap standings with 21 wickets. Meanwhile, the Mavericks established their authority early in the season by registering seven consecutive victories, eventually securing top spot on the points table with 15 points. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final. Meeruts batting lineup features the tournament's most explosive performers. Opener Swastik Chikara has accumulated 308 runs at a strike rate of 166.49, while captain Rinku has provided reliable finishing power with 240 runs at a tournament-high strike rate of 171. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final.

Bihar flood threat intensifies as Ganga nears historic peak, relief operations expanded
Patna, Sep 5 (IANS) The flood threat in Bihar has intensified as the Ganga and several other major rivers continue to rise, prompting authorities to expand relief and rescue operations across affected districts. At Patna's Gandhi Ghat, the Ganga has crossed the danger mark and is flowing close to its Highest Flood Level (HFL), triggering heightened vigilance by the state government and the Disaster Management Department. Authorities have issued alerts and stepped up monitoring in vulnerable areas. Deputy Chief Minister and Water Resources Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary reviewed the situation with senior officials on Saturday and directed them to maintain strict surveillance along riverbanks and embankments. He instructed officials to alert residents in vulnerable areas and ensure prompt preventive measures wherever required. District-level teams deployed for flood management have been asked to conduct continuous patrolling and monitor sensitive locations. Following the review meeting, Chaudhary said the Ganga had surpassed its previous peak level, crossing the highest mark recorded in 2016 at around 10.30 a.m. on Saturday. He said officials had been stationed at vulnerable points and that the administration was fully prepared to tackle any emergency. Several major rivers, including the Ganga, Gandak, Kosi, Burhi Gandak, Punpun and Ghaghara, are flowing above the danger mark at multiple locations across the state. The Ganga remains above the danger level at Digha, Gandhi Ghat, Hathidah, Bhagalpur, Kahalgaon, Buxar and Munger, while the Gandak has crossed the danger mark at Dumaria Ghat and Hajipur. The Kosi is flowing above the danger level at Baltara and Kursela, the Burhi Gandak at Khagaria, the Punpun at Sripalpur, and the Ghaghara at Darauli. As floodwaters continue to threaten low-lying areas, district administrations have intensified relief efforts. Community kitchens have been expanded in several affected districts to provide food to displaced residents. In Bhagalpur, six community kitchens are serving around 5,000 people, with more than 70,600 meals distributed so far. In Bhojpur, 13 community kitchens are catering to nearly 2.84 lakh affected people across four blocks, while eight kitchens in Patna are serving around 2.32 lakh people in nine blocks. Additional centres have also been opened at seven new locations in the state capital. Community kitchens are also operating in Saran for around 20,000 affected residents. In Vaishali district, relief assistance is being provided to nearly 85,000 people, while 326 residents have been shifted to a special relief camp. To support evacuation and transportation in inundated areas, the government is operating 693 boats across flood-affected districts. Vaishali has the highest deployment with 155 boats, followed by Samastipur (88), Bhojpur (87), Patna (70), Madhepura (58), Khagaria (43) and Purnea (35). Relief materials, food supplies and evacuation arrangements are also being mobilised in other affected districts, including Arwal, Buxar, Begusarai, Samastipur, Khagaria, Munger and Katihar. Authorities said continuous surveillance is being maintained in flood-prone and affected areas as river levels remain on an upward trend.
